A very.n-relartcholy acchient happened last night 416 • • Swain-vard; near Drury-lane. At the head of • 'Swan-yard, several houSes have lwely been pulled down, but the curnerhoese w-as left standing, and was , occupied by families from top to b l ottorn. A Inge stack of chimnies belonging to this house hay • ing lost its former support and protedion, and owing t o t h e h ig h w i n d s during yesterday, gave way last night about six o'clock, and falling in upon the roof, brought the whole down through All the floors suc cessively. A roan named Anderson and his wife, in the third .floor„, were carried down with the ruins, and almost. literally cr .shed,to Pieces. • About half an bete- after yards they ,a ere deg out of the'ruins, but %ithoqi any signs of life. Their son, a boy . sbont 12 years of age, was carried down also by the ruins, but escaped pearly Mil:ter. The father and Inot: , er were found to each others arms, and in a state completely mangled ; the bodied were con veyed to the Apple Tree, a public-house in the neighbourhood. The father Was an old soldier, who, in the. field of battle; has' had many a hair breadth escape. A poor wo man -who lived in the cellar, with tour children, 'had just gone out about a minute before the fatal accident, with all,her chil dren, to the neighbouring shop for a candle, other wise they must have been crushed to pieces, as the whole floors of the house came down. It is supposed-that another man has lest his life, tit* the ,body has not been found. Very fortunately the different families in,the house were from home at the time. ' Yesterday two meti were brought: to the Public 'Office, Bow-street, by Donaldson, Constable, charged with being; reputed thieves, and loitering about the avenues of the Theatre, for the purpose of picking . pockets.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BUENOS AVRES, 'DATED ,SEPTEMBRR 27: "", Information has been received here, stating that Gen. Liniers with Conches, the Go%ernot . of Cordova, - and three oth-rs,' have been shot, by a, deputation sent from the Junta of tin, place for that nerpose, with Castilla; one of the Members ot the Junta, at the head'. of the depu:ation. They met the General aoout .30 leagues on this side Cordova; where the fatal busihess took place ; tht-1 , were al lowed only three hours for Cl:Mit - Al/11. This affair is looked upon by the citizens of Buenos Ayres with horror: General Ltuieis is muc:i regretted by the inhabitanis of Buenos Ayres, aulon:st whom he ha.! many friend's; and was, greatly beloved. Many are of Opinion that this affair will tend to injure the cause of the present Gwernment. We ;ire at this moment experiencing great difficulties in con sequenee of disputes between the Government of Monte Video and the Junta of this place: the peeple of . Monte Video having all the Spanish naval force in this quarter at their disposal, have declared this town in a state ot blockade, and for this purpose they have moored their armed flotilla, consisting of one sloop ot war,. three armed brigs, and four or five feluccas, in the form of a half moon, just without gun-shot in the front of the town, so that no vessel can pass without their per mission. The British ships they turn over to the disposal of Capt. Elliot, the Senior Officer on the station; in the Porcupine frigate, and he sends them to Maldonado, where •he direas them -to remain until he shall ' receive instruaions from Adm . ral De Courcy, at Rio : all other flags which attempt to break the blockade without permission, are sent to Monte Video, where they are, condemned as prizes: I have just learned that a large ship. with a rich cargo from London, called the invention, is 'lost at the mouth of . the, river Phita, on tie Engli s h bar ; all the crew drowned except the Captain and 13 men, who are arrived in a boat at Monte Video.— ,ThiS place is still overstocked with goods; which are selling here at a lower rate than they were ptir *chased at in England : it is supposed that seven years consumption will scarcely take off the stock on hand : the consequences to the. exporters on your side. must be attended with ruin and bank ruptcy."

MINISTRY OF MARINE' REPORT, FROM THE CAPITAINR DE FREGATO ROUS- 5E.115, TO THE MINISTER QM MR MARINE. On board L'Aniazone, Havre, Nov. 28. I have the honour to inform your Excellency; that I sailed from Havre on the 12i b, at ten at night, with the frigate L'Ainazo n e, un d er my c . ommand, and L' Eliza, Captain Fresemet, with a wind variable from N. E. to N. N.B. We steered a course between the N. W. and N. N. W. quarter, and at one in the morning we pt-r -ceived, nor far floral us, t wo large ships of war. Being uncertain as to what they were, we continued our course until a quarter past three in the morning, when we perceived a-bead of us the_isles of St. Marcouf, which we had some difficulty in doubling. We were then obliged to tack, and this made us fall in with the two enemy's ship, broadside to broadside. We exchanged broadsides in passing, without his Majesty's frigates having received any damage. As I knew that the enemy's division was corn .posed of ships and frigateS, t did not think it right to risk an e..gagernent during the night with these ves sels, which might be readily assisted by others, and we waited for day-light, anchoring about fonr in the morning, under the isles of St. Marcouf. At eleven we got under weigh, and continuedluding until three in the afh . rnoon, without lx•ing able to double Bar `ifenr. Upon th.s,l determined to come to •anchor oft La Hogue. Theeneml's ships, ‘&111e1t I disco vered to be' frigates, racked at the distance of two leagues, but the south-east winds, which blew very fresh, prevented me fro m ge ttin g under sail. On the night of the 13:h or 14th, the wind be tame stormy, and continued so all -,the morning, up.n • which we :were forted to ply out a great length of cable, and L'Elisa, baying driven on anchors,. was compelled 16 strike her trilsts and to lighten herself, that she might not be wrecked on the, rocks. . • On the t sth, the wind havincr - claauged to W. S. W. two vessels of the line an d P two friptes stood in to'rittack us. At ten, the first frigate' brought her pins to bear upon us at the distance of tuo musket stiois, but wereplied to her in such a manner, that she put about at the first broadside, and stood away to repair the damage she had sustained. Aficr the first -broadside the two ships and the other frigate engaged us until a quarter past one. Their fire was answered so ,vigorously by his M. jesty's frigates ant by the forts, that these snips stood otf, and anchored at the distance of two or three cannon shots from us, towards the S. E. In the n . ght between the 15th and t6th, some boats were rowed from the enemy's ships, to throw rockets on us, but,l drove them back by the Ore 01 our guns. I feel it my , duty to give equal praise to the Captain of L'Eliza, and the officers and crew un der my command. We had only one man killed and another wounded Since the 17th, until this day, the storm prevented us from getting under weigh, and it was al•ro ne cessary to replace the essential articles which L' Eliza had been forced to throw overboard, and the con ,eyance of which the bad weather had retarde . Yesterday, Yesterday, that frigate being perfe9ly safe, I de tlmined to get under weigh in the night with L A inazoi , e, though the enemy's ships were anchored at less I han a league and a half from us.' I pas•-ed at a little &splice from them, without being p,-r -ceived, and I entered Atli% morning the port of Ha vre. During my stay at La Hogue, 'the Caprtaines de Fregate Lecolier and• Drouart, and AI - . Francine vale, principal Commissary of Cherbourg, wet,- of great service to me, both in person, and by the as sistance which they sent me. ' I am, &c. RUUSSEAU. The alterations and improvements in the apart ments of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cu aasEa- LAND, in St. James's Palace, are now in as state of great forwardness. All the cl4k closets and anti rooms, contiguous to his late' bed-chamber, - are re moved: the space is now occupied by one room only, which forms a magnificent apartment—the proportions being 32 feet by 24 his here the Duke will sleep. The wads are now ornamenting in a very unique and elegant style, agreeable to hi s Highness's own taste. This room will communi-., cate, by melns of folding doors, acting npom sym pathetic hinges, with a range of apartments, forming a suite, extending in length upwards of 130 feet : there are six in the whole. There are some rooms added to the heretofore aecolituodations. Two months, it is supposed, from tfiq present time, will complete the improvement, and during that period the Duke will continue to reside at Califon House. The last Gibraltar Paper states a dreadful, but ne cessary instance of retaliation, on the part of the Spanish patriots, in the Mountains of 'Malaga. it Occurred at , Benamargosa=t,vhere, in 'revenge - for the murder of I 4 of their men, - who had been sur prised and put to death by the enemy, the patriots hanged 28 hind shot,2, being the whole of a French partywhidh - had fallen two their hands. We were mistaken in Staring that Sir DAVID and Lady WEDDE gIiURN were present at the mairiage of Mr. WEDDERBURN WEB..TER, at Lady FaANcts CONNOLLY'S. They are at present at their house in Norfolk, in deep affliction for the loss of a son. At a period of the year when Asthma, Wheezing, and Winter Cough, prevail, the to lowing informa tion may not be unexceptionable to . maily of our readers :--- , Surgeon Fisher has just published a trea tise on the causes of. these diseases of the lungs, in which he satisfactorily proves, from a very extensive practice that the prepared Stramonium Herb is the only remedy that has succeeded in affording eirec tnal and permanent relief. The fume, says he, by reaching the seat of the diseases, almost iiilmediately allays ,the increased irritation of the lining of the wind-pipe and lungs, and thus ,effectually removes. the cause of these diseases, While the oxytnel.of the herb, by protirting expectoration and improving the . general' health of the patient, as effectually prevents their return, even in the most obstinate • cases.---- These preparations, we are happy to say, miiy ae obtained with directions, of MessrS, poster and Co. 34, Parliament-street ; Harris, corner of St. Paul's Church-yard ; and Mr. Butt's, No. 10, :Ber ners-street. EXCILIAGE OF PRISONERS. We yesterday, inserted a part of the official docu' ments published by the French Government on this sribjeFt, and the foltowing is the remainder of them. It is evident : irom these documents that Buotsa• fARTE, white he pretends to be anxious for the Jibe ration.of his captives is wholly indifferent to the fate of his own subjeas, and' takesevery possible op= portunity of venting his m.rlice against the ne-)ple of this country. O the other nand, it will bg r-gnallv apparent that the British Government lus offered much more than could be expected in order to effesi the restoration of °Ur countryfnen ) and, in due turn, the deliverance of all our allies. No. VIII. After some observations, Mr. Mac• keozie says :---The principal objection stated against the counter-projettis, that the fulfilment of its exe cutinn depends upon the will of others. This is in.. evitable, in a transaction in which► so many different Governments are interested. It is impossible to avoid some delay, or to guarantee, under all possible cir cumstances, the- exeeution of al piincipie, however general its adop - !ion may be. An objection similar to this, advanced aainst the British counter-project, might be well applied to the French project, since, -note ithstanding the enunciation of the principle , of the universal exchange in some of its arlicies,-, the execution of this principle, as far as appert iins to the exchange between. France sod Spain (without name.-. inn any oilier Governnlent), depend, on the con sent of the respective Gov,rnment4. The only point proposed, w.Wch should be dcfinitively. de cided, was the restitution to - Ftance, without delay, and in mass, of all the French prisoners in England, and to England of all the English prisoners in France ; a stipulation, all the advattiage of which, notwithstanding the singular argument of M. Dutnoustier, is on the part of France. Even according to the proposition last transmitted, the toll execution ►►f the principle, as to all the French pri soners in Spain, and the surplus of Spanish prisoners in France, would depend on the success of the inter vention of the Btittsh Government as to that of Spain. Dennoustier will therefore remark, that in establishing teat the execution of a principle, adopt.. ed at the same time by the English Government and that of France, Should not be left at the discretion of what he thinks proper to call the Insurreetional Goveinments of Spain, he substitutes for a principle really adoipted, viz. the g eneral exchange of tilt the prisoners on all sid e s, t he principle put forward by. France, viz. the liberation of all the _French pri soners in England, together with that of ad: ttht English prisoners in prance; and then, because the measure proposed does not agree in certain points with the execution of a principle 'which England does not admit, he complains flan it awaits or eludes the consequences the most important, which England does not admit. It was not within the competence of tlj rune.- tinns with which M. Dumoustier and the under sieued are charged, to establish, or even to discuss ttie, question, relative to the Government of Spain. Tile Un tersigned, must however, observe, that a Government cap3ble of putting armies in motion, and capable of making prisoners of its enemies, is, at least, competent to treat with those enemies for the exchange of its prisoners. That Governtneat, v. hici Great Blitain acknowledges for her ally, , bagot at least to be consulted by her as to'what Con cerns her interest, her sentiments, and her honour, It is ,for that Government to decide, whether it wishes to obtain the delivery of so many thousands of Spaniards, who may cooperate in its defence, in al• lowing for the price of that advantage the deliver ance of so many thousands' of Frenchmen who may co-operate in attacking her. It does not belong to the Undersigned to antici pate upon the probability of the duration, and on the float issue of the contest.; but if the overthrow of this Government so certain and so near, that there is not even time to communicate the terms of a car tel, he cannot refrain from asking whit are become of all the arguments employed with so much u amnia to induce Great Britain to exchange flue French pri soners in her power, together with the Spanish pri soners in the power of France •? If the war swith Spain is in fact so near its end, what reason can there be thai,in such a case Great Britain should be ready to make a sacrifice for their exchange ? • It should still be observed, that the plan now pro.• posed by M. Damous:ier, differs considerably, from that proposed in the French project, by which -the alternative was established, of sending the Spanish prisoners into France, into England, or into the dif ferent towns in Spain which might Be agreed upon. This last part of the alternative i s a l one a d m i ssible. It is not just that , the embarrassment and the ex pence of the transport of her 'allies to their respec tive countries, should fall upon Great Britain. The only propel' and equitable principle is, that each of ; • the contrading parties should engage to transport into their respedise countries the prisoners which are found in their possession. The Undersigned is charged, in ,consequence, with informing M. Dumoustier sthit this part of the propthition contained in his . Note is not admix• sible., Mr. Matitergie is further ordered to add to Mr.. Dumoustier, that the British .Government does not feel itself bound in justice to make any addition to the humane and liberal proposition which has al ready been made,, in its name. It does n,►t tind itselt disposed to depart in aoy degree from its tenor. Nevertheless, to establish the kincerity of its de sire to etfett an exchange and a cartel, if possible,, in a point of view still nore clear, the Undersigned is authorised to propose an additional article, which ought entirely.to re hove the apprehensions of the French/Government, of the possibility of a .00nti. nuation of the captivity of its subjects, af.er ,all ttie British subjeCts shall have been liberated. M. Dumoustit.r disavows an intention of agitating a question which he feels is misplaced, relative to the treatment at French prisoners it') England yet, notwiubstanding his disavowal, he enters into this mispla,ed question. Mr. Mackenzie will not imi tate him, 'rat simply assures him ,that the.disous oion itieil is nut more misplaced, than' the *numeral.. i ( ) war m a evi *et, pro- ll Set ID~ 7 rota Hied lent, , in TP f Tire rson ioni cal- OHN aro last and, ving on ; sro.
